New York, NY (PRWEB)May 14, 2014

Adorama, one of the world’s largest photography, video, imaging and electronics retailers, now has available for pre-order Nikon’s new higher-resolution versions of its starter and mid-range mirrorless compact cameras, the Nikon 1 J4 and Nikon 1 S2; the new pro-level Nikon AFF-S-NIKKOR 400mm photo lens and a converter for its DSLRs; and new underwater photography gear for the Nikon 1 camera series. The new Nikon models can be pre-ordered on Adorama’s website at http://www.adorama.com/pages/Nikon_05_14.

Pro 400mm Lens, Extender Launch
Aimed at the professional sports photography market, the new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR is lighter and more rugged than its predecessor. The maximum aperture delivers a stunning bokeh. Its low-light capabilities are increased by four stops thanks to an advanced Nikon VR technology.

The new 400mm lens features a new mode specifically for shooting sports and action. The specialized electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism achieves consistent exposures when shooting at high frame rates. The lens’s autofocus can be overridden by spinning the lens barrel to change focus manually.

Nikon 1 S2 Mirrorless Digital Camera
The second-generation Nikon 1 S2 is designed to capture the action. The new Nikon 1 S2 features a higher-resolution sensor and a faster image-processing engine than its predecessor, the Nikon S1. It also offers an expanded ISO range and supports the microSD format.

14.2MP, one-inch CX Format CMOS sensor

Expeed 4A image-processing engine

Underwater Flash, Housing for Nikon 1 Cameras
Nikon has added underwater capabilities to its two lower-end cameras. The Nikon WP-N3 is an underwater housing unit for scuba diving with the Nikon 1 J4 or Nikon 1 S2, taking it down to a depth of 147 feet (the AW1 can be submerged to 49 feet). The housing can accommodate the 1 NIKKOR 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 and 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM lenses, and allows users to capture underwater stills and videos.

Nikon is also offering the new Nikon 1 SB-N10 Underwater Speedlight, an underwater flash that can be taken as deep as 328 feet. It has a guide number of 92 feet at ISO 100, making it very powerful for deep dives. A new underwater bracket (SK-N10A) and fiber-optic cable let you work with camera and flash as a single unit.
